I made a post the other day about hating exercise and how that has been the most difficult piece of the healthy lifestyle puzzle for me to adopt. Well, I decided to just bite the bullet and I joined the YMCA.
I was wondering about appropriate etiquette for using gym equipment, as well as swimming in a lap pool (for example, there are two lanes open during the time I have found to swim next week. What do I do it there are two people already using them? Things like that, and others that I may not thought about yet).
I am very anxious about doing this, but know it is a good choice. I just would feel more comfortable knowing the unwritten (or maybe in some cases, written) rules of using a public gym. And, I also thought it might be helpful for those of us who are not gym savvy to have some helpful hints on starting this new chapter of our lives.
